ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE WEIGHT OF AIR

"David Poses’ unflinching memoir takes you to the dark corners of addiction – and shows there’s a way out. The Weight of Air serves as a timely reminder that recovery is possible."

Eric Eyre, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of Death in Mud Lick

"A searingly honest addiction memoir with a much needed perspective. In order to end the overdose crisis, we need evidence-based care that heeds these voices rather than ignoring or repressing them."

Maia Szalavitz, New York Times best-selling author of Unbroken Brain

"A fluidly written, disarmingly blunt account of heroin addiction and recovery."  

Keith Humphreys, White House Drug Policy Adviser to George W Bush and Barack Obama

"The Weight of Air is a moving, tender, thoughtful account of addiction and also a compelling critique of a lot that's wrong with the dominant model of addiction treatment." 

Johann Hari, New York Times best-selling author of Chasing the Scream

"The blueprint for hope and survival that is ultimately Poses's story could not arrive at a more important time as the nation grapples with its overdose epidemic."  

Gerald Posner, New York Times bestselling author of Pharma
